How big do hoplias malabaricus get?

[Otherone]

Wow. Do u have any pic's of our beast

Ofcourse - all you or anyone else for that matter had to do was click on the Personal Gallery link under my name. My Mala's in an 18" wide 75 gal. tank - his tail is touching the rear glass, not many inches left til' his nose touches the front glass AND this pic was taken 6-4-10 almost 8mo. ago.
One of these daze I'll scoop him out and put a tape on him. Usually when I mention the size of the fish I keep I try to underscore there sizes as to not seem like I'm full o' crap.

Very nice! I knew they got around 16" . I had a 15" plus one before! But I heard a few guys had 20" er I just want to see what they looked like . Once again Yours is a nice piece. I had wolves for more then 20 years and mine never grew over 16" . and I think the females get bigger then the males

when I sold mine he was 14 inches and only about a year old, I miss that guy.

 

[streetwarlords]

Why did u sell it?

 

[kevinfleming21]

He was eating my exodons at a rapid pace, i had to move them his tank as a last resort. It was time to move on and try some other fish. Looking to get an
Aimara anyway.
